When I go home for my Christmas vacation, Tallulah will most likely be spayed. All I really want is some peace of mind after reading so many horror stories about little dogs and spaying procedures. Has anyone else spayed three pounds or under? Success stories are greatly appreciated. I know how you feel about surgery for these little ones. My Sugar finally had to be spayed at the age of 8. She was developing tumors on her tummy, also she had hernia so it was a 3 in one operation including teeth cleaning. She weighs 2.7kg so is pretty small. All this happened a month ago and she has healed up beautifully and is full of life. I think the secret is knowing the vet. We have had the same one for over 10 years and he has been wonderful in multiple situations. I just took Spice in for teeth cleaning yesterday and she came through with flying colours. I hope you will be as fortunate as I have been. Good luck.

He's a doggy super hero that aims to save the world, one wag at a time! Mighty Mouse was adopted from AFRP way back in 2008, and recently returned to our care when his family moved and could not take him along. Mighty Mouse is a true gentleman and walks nicely on the leash, is house trained, and gets along perfectly with other dogs, cats, kids and birds. He is super playful and loves chewing his squeaky toys. At nap time he loves to burrow under a cozy blanket! If you are looking for a fantastic family companion, Mighty Mouse is your guy!Hi Beth – sounds like you’ve got a lovely, healthy little Morkie! Yes, toy dogs do reach their full size sooner than medium and large size breeds. By 10 months they are usually full-grown. My guess for Oliver is that he’ll weigh in around 7 to 8 pounds when fully grown (and in good shape) That’s a GREAT size. Adult dogs under 5 pounds have lots of medical issues, including the possibility of low blood sugar shock at any time when they’re cold, upset, haven’t recently eaten, and more.13 One of the really small dog breeds! Weight under 11 pounds, height 5-6 inches, lifespan 15-18 years. Bold, often timid, curious and loves to hunt and dig. Stubborn and hard to train. Enjoys family activities, loyal. Not very playful or affectionate, Not good with dogs, cats and strangers. Fair with older klids, pretty good watchdog.We have seen some sources list the weight of the Papillon to be as tiny as 4 pounds (1.81 kg) however this is not common and a Pappy of this size would be considered undersized should he or she be the expected 8 to 11 inches tall (floor to withers). We will discuss undersized (and over-sized) dogs ahead.The use of the word "toy" to describe small dogs that belong to a toy breed is redundant and also incorrect, suggesting that the breed comes in different sizes—there is no such thing, for example, as a "toy Chihuahua"; all are categorized in the Toy Group. Some breeds do come in different sizes, such as , which come in standard, miniature, and toy varieties. The size varieties may all be placed within one group, as with the breed under the Fédération Cynologique Internationale rules, or the smallest varieties of a breed may be placed as a separate breed in the Toy Group or some other group. The exact categorization varies between registries and countries. The is probably the largest of the toy dog group, weighing an average of up to 18 pounds.For mixed breed dogs, owners can use an individual’s weight to help determine how long he or she would be expected to live. In general, small dogs enjoy longer lives than do their larger counterparts. A recent analysis of veterinary records revealed that dogs under 20 pounds had an average lifespan of 11 years while those over 90 pounds typically lived for only 8 years. Medium and large dogs fell in the middle at around 11 years. (, Banfield Pet Hospital).
